I tried some magic with inside() and isosurface, but povray does not 
like even the simplest terms involving the inside() function, see 
attached scene file snippet:

---<snip>---
==== [Parsing...] ===================================================
File 'bugreport.pov' line 6: Parse Error: Expected 'operand', object 
identifier found instead
Fatal error in parser: Cannot parse input.
Render failed
----<snap>----

I ask a search engine and found the same bug reported already many eons 
ago, but without useful replies, e.g. from 2010:

http://news.povray.org/povray.advanced-users/message/%3Cweb.4c7d7306e632d53a274f74a20%40news.povray.org%3E/

or from 2002:

Is it a bug in povray, can you reproduce it? Or am I holding it wrong?
